Title: Selectivend
Post by: MoonDawg on January 15, 2018, 12:05:15 pm
         I'm not sure I believe the story, but the thought process that went into this machine is difficult to comprehend.

         The sign on top is killer!  :happydrinkers:

That is Alan Huffmans Listing.

Is the machine for sale or the sign?

I think it’s for both. He will probably end it early and sell it outside of fee bay since he put his phone number in the listing. Interesting Machine.

Looks cool because it's something different. Didn't read the description because it's too wordy. Had he used paragraphs I might have.

Agreed. It is cool especially when lit up. I tapped out halfway through reading the description.

Ok, so can we ascertain if it’s an original Cheerwine machine?
I’ve never seen one, and I also fell asleep in the first five minutes of reading the description.

It looks to be a Vendo 39 converted... If you can read all that it says it's a conversion kit from Selectivend... someone
took a lot of time on it... I've seen another 39 a while back converted into a RC with the help from a RC picnic cooler... wonder if they used a Cheerwine
bench sign for the embossing... looks good... Cheerwine is a pretty good soda.. Sells well around here. :happydrinkers:

Interesting conversion.  That is a lot of time, money and effort to put into a machine with limited appeal.  Wait, I am starting to ramble like the description!  :biggrin: :laugh: 8)

PS:  With his history would you trust that the machine gets delivered?

        His old problem was taking in more machines than he could handle. Looks like he is caught up now and is restoring his own machines for sale.

        The pictures I have seen of his work always show very high quality workmanship, so I was stunned a few weeks ago to see this neat Victor receive almost 100' of automotive chrome body molding....................... :darn:

Even though its a fantasy piece I still like the look of the sign. Would be nothing special without it so probably a good move on his part. Kind of wish it was an original topper they used back in the day.
